The jackpot that is stopped and displayed is shown as a jackpot based on the symbol Zc.

  In the jackpot game awarded when the jackpot based on the symbols ZA and Za is won, "16 times" is prescribed as the prescribed number of rounds. On the other hand, in the jackpot game given when the jackpot based on the symbols ZB, ZC, Zb, and Zc is won, "4 times" is prescribed as the prescribed number of rounds.

  In all of these jackpot games, "25s" is set as the maximum time for each round game, and "8" is set as the maximum number of game balls that can be inserted into the special winning opening 23a in one round game. Each is specified. Further, in each jackpot game, the opening time, the interval time between the rounds (interval between the rounds), and the ending time are defined as constant times.

  Therefore, it can be said that the big hit game given when the big hit based on the symbols ZA and Za is a big hit game in which prize balls for 16 round games can be expected. On the other hand, the jackpot game given when the jackpot based on the symbols ZB, ZC, Zb, and Zc is won can be said to be a jackpot game in which prize balls for four round games can be expected.

  After the jackpot game given when the jackpot based on the symbols ZA, ZB, Za, Zb is won, the probability variation state is given until the next jackpot game is given. On the other hand, after the jackpot game given when the jackpot based on the symbols ZC and Zc is won, the probability variation state is not given. In addition, the big hit based on the symbols ZA, ZB, Za, Zb to which the certainty variation state is given after the end of the big hit game is referred to as a certainty variation big hit, and the big hit based on the symbols ZC and Zc to which the certainty variation state is not given after the end of the big hit game is uncertain variation. Show as a big hit.

  After the big hit game given when the big hit based on the symbols ZA, ZB, Za, Zb is finished, the high base state is given until the next big hit game is given. On the other hand, after the jackpot game given when the jackpot based on the symbols ZC and Zc is won, a high base state is given with the variable game of a predetermined number (100 times in this embodiment) as the upper limit.

First, the special symbol input process will be described. The special symbol input process is executed by the main control CPU 30a at predetermined intervals.

  The main control CPU 30a executes a first hold determination that determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 21 based on whether or not a detection signal from the first start sensor SE1 has been input. To do.

  When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative (when the game ball enters the first start winning opening 21), the main control CPU 30a causes the first hold storage number to be the upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). ) Is performed, a first reserved storage number determination is performed.

  When the determination result of the first reserved memory number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit number is not reached), the main control CPU 30a executes the first reserved control process. In the first hold control process, the main control CPU 30a executes the following process. The main control CPU 30a adds "1" to the first number of reserved memories stored in the main control RAM 30c. The main control CPU 30a controls the first hold display device 13 so as to display the updated first hold storage number. The main control CPU 30a outputs to the sub control board 31 (sub control CPU 31a) a suspension designation command that designates the updated first suspension storage count. The main control CPU 30a acquires the values of various random numbers related to the first variation game and stores them in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. The values of various random numbers related to the first variation game are stored so that the order of acquisition obtained in accordance with the entry of the game balls into the first start winning opening 21 can be specified. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the first reserved memory number does not reach the upper limit number, when the game ball enters the first start winning port 21, the first variable game hold condition is satisfied. ..

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the first hold determination is negative (when the game ball has not entered the first start winning opening 21), or when the determination result of the first hold storage number determination is negative (first If the upper limit of the number of reserved storages has been reached), the main control CPU 30a does not execute the first pending control process.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second start winning opening 22a based on whether or not a detection signal from the second start sensor SE2 has been input. Execute the judgment.

  When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative (when the game ball enters the second start winning port 22a), the main control CPU 30a causes the second hold storage number to be the upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). ) Is performed, a second reserved storage number determination is performed.

  When the determination result of the second reserved storage number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit number is not reached), the main control CPU 30a executes the second reserved control process. In the second hold control process, the main control CPU 30a executes the following process. The main control CPU 30a adds "1" to the second reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c. The main control CPU 30a controls the second hold display device 14 to display the updated second hold storage number. The main control CPU 30a outputs a holding designation command for designating the updated second holding storage number to the sub control board 31. The main control CPU 30a acquires the values of various random numbers related to the second variation game and stores them in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. The values of various random numbers related to the second variation game are stored so that the acquisition order acquired in accordance with the entry of the game balls into the second start winning opening 22a can be specified. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the second hold memory number does not reach the upper limit number and the game ball enters the second start winning port 22a, the second variable game hold condition is satisfied. ..

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the second hold determination is negative (when the game ball has not entered the second start winning opening 22a), or when the determination result of the second hold storage number determination is negative (second If the upper limit of the number of reserved storages has been reached), the main control CPU 30a does not execute the second pending control process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described. The main control CPU 30a is adapted to execute a special symbol start process at predetermined intervals.
When the big hit game and the variation game are not being executed, the main control CPU 30a specifies the second reserved storage number and determines whether or not the second reserved storage number is larger than "0". When the second reserved storage number is "0", the main control CPU 30a identifies the first reserved storage number and determines whether the first reserved storage number is larger than "0". Then, when the first reserved storage number is "0", the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  In the present embodiment, when the big hit game and the variation game are not being executed, and the second number of pending storages is larger than “0” (that is, there is a second variation game whose execution is suspended). The execution condition of the second variation game is satisfied. On the other hand, when the big hit game and the variation game are not being executed, the execution condition of the second variation game is not satisfied, and the first number of pending storages is larger than “0” (that is, the execution is suspended). (When there is a first variable game being played), the execution condition of the first variable game is satisfied. In this way, when both the hold condition of the first variable game and the hold condition of the second variable game are satisfied, the execution condition of the second variable game is satisfied, and the main control CPU 30a is The floating game is executed preferentially.

  When the execution condition of the first variation game is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a determines the value of the random number related to the first variation game (the value of the random number for hit determination, the value of the variation pattern random number, the special symbol distribution random number). Value of the random number for reach determination) and the value of the random number related to the first variation game that is executed first in the order of acquisition from the main control RAM 30c. The main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified first pending storage number, and changes the display content of the first pending display device 13 so as to display the subtracted first pending storage number. The main control CPU 30 a outputs a hold designation command indicating the updated first hold storage number to the sub control board 31.

  The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the read random number for hit determination matches the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b, and performs a big hit determination (big hit lottery). In this way, the main control CPU 30a that determines whether or not to be a big hit corresponds to a big hit judging means. If the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (in case of big hit), the main control CPU 30a, based on the value of the read special symbol random number, the first special symbol display device 11 from the big hit symbol by the special symbol The final stop symbol that is confirmed and displayed is determined. As a result, the main control CPU 30a determines the type of jackpot corresponding to the final stop symbol displayed in the final stop display. In this way, the main control CPU 30a that determines the type of big hit corresponds to the big hit type determination means. After that, the main control CPU 30a determines a fluctuation pattern from the big hit fluctuation patterns based on the value of the read fluctuation pattern distribution random number.

The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, executes various processes related to the first variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the sub control board 31.
Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command that designates a variation pattern and also instructs the start of a variation game. The variation pattern designation command is a command that can specify which of the first variation game and the second variation game is executed. The main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first special symbol display device 11 so as to start the variable display of the special symbol. The main control CPU 30a starts measuring the variation time of the first variation game. The main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designating command for designating the final stop symbol and the type of jackpot. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  Then, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a, based on the variation time set in the specified variation pattern, the first special symbol display device so as to display the determined final stop symbol. The display content of 11 is controlled. The main control CPU 30a issues an instruction to end the variation game based on the variation time set in the designated variation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for finalizing and displaying the effect symbols.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (when it is not the big hit), the main control CPU 30a makes a reach determination that determines whether or not the reach effect is executed. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the read reach determination random number matches the reach determination value.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as the final stop symbol which is fixedly stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 11. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the outlying reach variation pattern and the outlying variation pattern based on the determination result of the reach determination and the value of the read variation pattern distribution random number.

  The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the fluctuation pattern and the final stop symbol, executes various processes related to the fluctuation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the sub control board 31, as in the case of the big hit. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the execution condition of the second variation game is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a determines a random number value related to the second variation game (a random number value for hit determination, a random number value for variation pattern distribution, a special symbol distribution). Out of the values of the random numbers for reach and the random numbers for reach determination), the value of the random number related to the second variable game executed first according to the acquisition order is read from the main control RAM 30c. The main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified second pending storage number, and changes the display content of the second pending display device 14 so as to display the subtracted second pending storage number. The main control CPU 30 a outputs a hold designation command indicating the updated second hold storage number to the sub control board 31.

  Hereinafter, the process relating to the second variation game is executed based on the read value of the random number, but since it is the same as the process in the first variation game, detailed description will be omitted. In the process related to the second variable game, the control for the “first variable game” is read as the control for the “second variable game”, and the “first special symbol display device 11” is targeted. The control is read as control targeting the "second special symbol display device 12".

  The main control CPU 30a starts the control of the big hit game of the type specified based on the final stop symbol after the end of the variation game of the big hit, and outputs a predetermined control command to the sub control board 31.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a starts the opening time triggered by the start of the big hit game, and outputs an opening command to the sub control board 31 to instruct that the opening time has started.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a controls each round game after the end of the opening time, and outputs a round command for instructing the start of the round game to the sub control board 31 upon the start of each round game. The main control CPU 30a controls the special winning opening 23a to an open state and a closed state for each round game. That is, the main control CPU 30a opens the special winning opening 23a in a predetermined opening mode until the upper limit number of game balls is won or until a predetermined time that is predetermined for each round game elapses. Control to open state.

  When the round game is over, the main control CPU 30a controls the special winning opening 23a to be in a closed state, and closes the special winning opening 23a until a predetermined round interval time has elapsed for each round game. maintain. This series of controls is executed until the specified number of rounds is reached.

  When the round game for the specified number of rounds is completed, the main control CPU 30a starts the ending time and outputs an ending command indicating that the ending time has started to the sub control board 31. When the ending time has passed, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game.

  When finishing the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a, based on the determined big hit type (special symbol type), when giving a positive change state, the positive change state is given to the main positive change flag. Set a value that indicates. On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the probability variation state is not provided to the main probability variation flag when the probability variation state is not provided. The main control CPU 30a once resets the value of the main probability variation flag when the big hit game is awarded.

  When finishing the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the high base state is given to the main operation flag. The main control CPU 30a is a value indicating the number of times the high base state is given when the high base state is given up to a predetermined number of times (100 times in the present embodiment) of the variation game based on the type of jackpot. To the main operation count flag. The main control CPU 30a subtracts "1" from the main operation number flag each time the variable game is executed, and resets the value of the main operation flag when it becomes "0". The main control CPU 30a generates an operation number designating command that designates the value set in the main operation number flag, and stores it in a predetermined area of the main control RAM 30c. The operation number designation command is output to the sub control board 31 in a command output process different from this process. The main control CPU 30a once resets the values of the main operation flag and the main operation number flag when the big hit game is given.

  Next, various processes executed by the sub-control CPU 31a of the sub-control board 31 based on the effect control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main control CPU 30a, the sub control CPU 31a executes various processes according to the input.

  For example, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command, the fixed stop display is displayed. The design combination by the effect design to be made is determined.

  That is, when the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is the big hit symbol, the sub-control CPU 31a determines the big hit symbol combination. The sub-control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the out-reach reach when the out-reach variation pattern is specified in the case where the designated final stop symbol is the out-latter symbol. The sub-control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the deviation when the deviation variation pattern is specified in the case where the specified final stop symbol is the deviation symbol.

  When the variation pattern designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 16, the decorative lamp LA, and the speaker SP to execute the effect symbol variation game based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. To do. After that, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs the all-symbol stop command, the effect accompanying the variable game is ended, and the determined symbol combination is fixedly stopped and displayed. In this way, the sub-control CPU 31a controls to display the effect symbol during the execution of the variable game. Thus, the sub-control CPU 31a that executes the effect corresponds to the effect control means.

  When the big hit symbol is designated as the final stop symbol, the sub-control CPU 31a, after the big hit game, based on the big hit symbol, when the probability variation state is given, a value indicating that the probability variation state is given. Set to the probability variation flag.

  When the big hit symbol is designated as the final stop symbol, the sub-control CPU 31a indicates that the high base state is given when the high base state is given after the big hit game based on the big hit symbol. Set the value to the secondary activation flag. Further, when the high base state is given, the sub control CPU 31a sets a value indicating the number of times of the variable game to which the high base state is given, in the sub operation number counter. The sub-control CPU 31a updates the value of the sub-operation number counter based on the value specified by the operation number specifying command. When the value of the sub-operation number counter becomes “0”, the sub-control CPU 31a sets a value indicating that the high base state is not given to the sub-operation flag.

Here, the variation pattern will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, the variation pattern of the present embodiment is selected depending on whether or not a big hit occurs, and when the big hit does not occur, a shift reach effect is executed. Specifically, the fluctuation patterns HP14 and HP18 are defined as the big hit fluctuation patterns. The fluctuation patterns HP13 and HP17 are defined as the out-reach fluctuation patterns. The fluctuation patterns HP11, HP12, HP15, HP16 are defined as the outlier fluctuation patterns.

  In the present embodiment, the variation patterns HP11 to HP14 are examples of variation patterns that can be selected in the low base state, and the variation patterns HP15 to HP18 are examples of variation patterns that can be selected in the high base state.

  The variation pattern HP12 that can be selected in the low base state is a variation pattern that shortens the variation time of the variation pattern HP11. The variation pattern selectable in the high base state further includes a variation pattern HP15 that reduces the variation time of the variation pattern HP11 selectable in the low base state and a variation time period of the variation pattern HP12 selectable in the low base state. There is a variation pattern HP16 for shortening. For this reason, in the high base state, it is easier to determine the variation pattern in which the variation time is shorter than in the low base state.

  In the present embodiment, the effect mode is controlled to be shiftable on condition that each big hit game ends or the variable game starts. The effect mode corresponds to the type of the background image of the effect display device 16 in the variable game, and can be easily recognized by the player based on the background image. Moreover, the effect mode can be executed over a plurality of continuous variable games. In this way, the effect mode can be specified by the display of the background image and indicates at least whether the high base state is given.

Here, the effect mode will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, this embodiment has a plurality of types of effect modes. The plurality of kinds of effect modes are roughly classified into three kinds of effect modes MA, MB, and MC.

  The effect mode MA is an effect mode in the low base state, and the effect modes MB and MC are effect modes in the high base state. Note that the effect mode MC can stay when the probability variation state is provided, while the effect modes MA and MB can stay when the probability variation state is not provided.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7, transitions of various effect modes as the game progresses will be described. Further, in FIG. 7, broken lines are used to classify a plurality of effect modes. In addition, in FIG. 7, the type of jackpot is shown using the type of the special symbol of the first variation game.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the low base state, the player stays in the effect mode MA. On the other hand, in the high base state, the player stays in one of the effect modes MB and MC. Then, in the case of winning the various jackpots, after the jackpot game based on the jackpot, the effect mode can be shifted with the start of the first variable game.

  When the big hit is won, regardless of the game state at the time of the big hit, the player stays in one of the effect modes MB and MC based on the type of the big hit. Specifically, when the big hit based on the symbols ZA, ZB, Za, Zb is won, the player stays in the effect mode MC, and when the big hit based on the symbols ZC, Zc is won, the player stays in the effect mode MB. There is.

  In this way, in the high base state, the player stays in one of the effect modes MB and MC. Then, when the player stays in the effect mode MB in the high base state and the variable game of a predetermined number of times ends, and when the high base state has been imparted, the effect mode MA is executed with the execution of the next variable game. Will be moved to. On the other hand, when the player stays in the effect mode MC in the high base state, it can be recognized that the high base state continues to be given until the next big hit game is given. In the low base state, the player stays in the effect mode MA.

Here, the control relating to the effect mode executed by the sub control CPU 31a will be described.
When the opening command is input, the sub-control CPU 31a identifies the type of jackpot based on the special symbol designating command in the variable game that is won in the jackpot lottery. In addition, the sub-control CPU 31a specifies the gaming state in the variable game that is won in the big hit lottery, based on the sub-probability change flag and the sub-operation flag. Based on the identified result, the sub-control CPU 31a sets data indicating the effect mode to be transferred after the big hit game is finished, in the effect mode flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 31c. The effect mode flag is a flag indicating an effect mode in which the player stays. In the present embodiment, as the effect mode after the end of the big hit game, data indicating either the effect mode MB or MC is set regardless of the kind of big hit or the game state.

  After that, the sub-control CPU 31a reads the value from the effect mode flag in the sub-control RAM 31c at the start of the variation game immediately after the end of the big hit game, specifies the effect mode, and various background images corresponding to the effect mode. The effect display device 16 is controlled so as to display an image.

  Next, the variable game start effect mode control processing executed by the sub-control CPU 31a will be described below. The variable game start effect mode control processing is processing for performing effect mode transition control at the start of the variable game. The sub-control CPU 31a is configured to execute the variation game start effect mode control processing by inputting a variation pattern designation command from the main control CPU 30a.

  When the variation pattern designation command is input, the sub-control CPU 31a reads a value from the effect mode flag assigned to the sub-control RAM 31c, and specifies the staying effect mode based on the value.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 31a determines whether or not the addition of the high base state is completed based on the sub-operation flag. When it is determined that the addition of the high base state is finished, the sub-control CPU 31a sets the data indicating the effect mode MA in the effect mode flag and displays various images such as the background image corresponding to the effect mode MA. The effect display device 16 is controlled. As described above, in the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 31a that controls the effect mode corresponds to the effect mode control means.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 16 executes a battle effect as a reach effect while the variable game is being executed when the effect display device 16 is controlled to a high base state. The battle effect as the predetermined effect is started to be executed after the effect symbol is once stopped and displayed as a reach symbol combination, and any one of a plurality of effect results before the effect symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed. This is an effect in which the result is derived.

  The battle production is a selection production in which a teammate character and a battle character to compete are selected, a battle production in which the selected teammate character and the battle character compete, and a production as a result of the battle whether or not the teammate character wins. It is composed of a fixed effect in which the result is definitely derived. In this way, the battle effect is an effect that is executed in the order of time series such as selection effect, battle effect, and final effect.

  As the ally character, any one of the plurality of types of characters belonging to the home country is selected. On the other hand, as the battle character, any one of a plurality of types of characters belonging to an enemy country that opposes the home country and a plurality of types of characters belonging to a neutral country that is neutral to the home country is selected. Note that the expectation level that is advantageous to the player varies depending on the type of teammate character and the type of opponent character.

  In addition, as images related to the ally character belonging to the home country, there are a ally character image belonging to the home country and a red background image corresponding to the ally character image belonging to the home country. The images relating to the battle character belonging to the enemy country include a battle character image belonging to the enemy country and a blue background image corresponding to the battle character image belonging to the enemy country. The images relating to the battle character belonging to the neutral country include a battle character image belonging to the neutral country and a green background image corresponding to the battle character image belonging to the neutral country. In this way, the battle effect is an effect in which an image (image information, first image information) related to the teammate character and an image (image information, second image information) related to the opponent character are displayed. Then, in the battle effect, the images (image information) relating to various ally characters are classified into various effect types for each type of character image, and are classified into various effect types for each display color of the character background image. There is.

  In the present embodiment, the effect type in which the character image belonging to the home country is displayed and the character background image is displayed in red corresponds to the first effect type. The effect type in which the character image belonging to the enemy country is displayed and the character background image is displayed in blue corresponds to the second effect type. The effect type in which the character image belonging to the neutral country is displayed and the character background image is displayed in green corresponds to the third effect type.

  In addition, the battle effect includes a plurality of types of battle effects, and one of the multiple types of battle effects is executed. There are two types of battle productions, a decisive battle production and a reinforcement request production. The decisive battle effect is an effect in which an ally character belonging to the home country and an opponent character belonging to the enemy nation compete with each other. The reinforcement request effect is an effect in which an ally character belonging to the home country and an opponent character belonging to the neutral nation compete with each other.

  Further, the battle effect includes a plurality of types of finalized effects, and any one of the finalized effects is executed. In this way, the battle effect is an effect in which one of a plurality of kinds of effect results is derived. As the types of final effects, a final effect (first effect result) in which the teammate character wins after the final battle effect or the reinforcement request effect is executed, and a final effect in which the opponent character wins after the final battle effect is executed (second (Effect result) and a final effect (third effect result) in which the opponent character wins after the reinforcement request effect is executed.

  When the selection effect is being executed, the execution of the battle effect can be recognized by the player, but the type of the battle effect to be executed and the type of the fixed effect cannot be recognized by the player, and when the character to be battled is decided, The type of battle effect to be executed can be recognized by the player. Further, when the battle production is being executed, the type of the battle production to be executed can be recognized by the player, but the type of the finalized production cannot be recognized by the player. Finally, when the finalized effect is being executed, the player can recognize the type of the finalized effect to be executed.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, when the battle effect is executed in the variation game that is the probability variation jackpot, the definite effect that the teammate character wins is executed after the decisive battle effect or the reinforcement request effect is executed. When a battle effect is executed in a variable game that is an uncertain variation jackpot, a definite effect in which the opponent character wins is executed after the decisive battle effect is executed. When the battle effect is executed in a variable game that does not result in a big hit, the confirmed effect in which the opponent character wins is executed after the reinforcement request effect is executed.

  For this reason, the types of confirmed effects of the battle effect and the types of big hits correspond to each other, and even if the predetermined items are generated after the end of the variable game so as to correspond to the types of big hits, the battle The type of fixed effect of the effect corresponds to the item that occurs after the end of the variable game.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the matters that occur after the end of the variation game, whether the big hit game is given after the end of the variation game, whether the probability change state is given after the end of the big hit game, and after the end of the big hit game There are production modes that are transferred.

  There are a plurality of types of items that occur after the end of the variable game, and any one of the plurality of types of items occurs. Specifically, when the first effect result is derived in the battle effect, the first item is generated after the end of the variation game that is the probability variation big hit. The first matter is that the big hit game is given, and after the big hit game is finished, the probability change state is given and the game mode MC is entered. When the second effect result is derived in the battle effect, the second item is generated after the end of the variation game that is the uncertain variation jackpot. The second matter is a matter in which a big hit game is given, and after the big hit game is finished, the probability change state is not given and a transition is made to the effect mode MB. When the third effect result is derived in the battle effect, the third item is generated after the end of the variation game that does not result in a big hit. The third item is the item in which the probability variation state is added and the effect mode is maintained without the jackpot game being given.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, when a battle effect is executed, a movable object effect using various movable objects KL and KR and movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 is executed during execution of the variable game. In the movable body effect as the specific effect, the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are displaced (moved) to predetermined positions, and the first movable effect lamp KLA1 and the second movable effect lamp KLA2 are in a predetermined light emission mode. It is an effect that is executed in an effect mode that suggests the effect result of the battle effect by being emitted in the (emission color). Further, the movable body effect can be said to be an effect executed in an effect mode that suggests an item that occurs after the end of the variation game.

  In the movable body production, the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are arranged at any of the first to fifth positions, but depending on the positions where the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are arranged, the battle is performed. The type of finalized effect and the degree of advantage with respect to the transition that occurs after the end of the variable game are different.

  Specifically, the case where the left movable body KL is arranged at the fourth position is more advantageous to the player than the case where the left movable body KL is arranged at the third position. Further, the case where the left movable body KL is arranged at the third position is more advantageous to the player than the case where the left movable body KL is arranged at the second position.

  On the other hand, the case where the right movable body KR is arranged at the second position is more advantageous to the player than the case where the right movable body KR is arranged at the third position. Further, the case where the right movable body KR is arranged at the third position is more advantageous to the player than the case where the right movable body KR is arranged at the fourth position.

  In the movable effect, the light emission (light emission information) of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 is classified into various effect types for each emission color (display color) as in the battle effect. In the movable body effect, the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emit light in the emission colors corresponding to the types of the character image and the character background image displayed in the battle effect, which is relevant.

  That is, the image information relating to various characters in the battle effect and the light emission information of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 are classified into predetermined effect types such that they have a relation such as a display color or a light emission color. Then, as the movable effect, the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emit light in the emission color classified into the same effect type as the image in the battle effect. In the present embodiment, the effect type in which the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits red light corresponds to the first effect type. The effect type in which the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits blue light corresponds to the second effect type. The effect type in which the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits green light corresponds to the third effect type.

  Further, the movable body effect is executed such that the effect mode is changed in a chronological order over a plurality of stages during one variation game. In particular, the movable body effect is an effect in which the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are displaced at each stage, and the emission colors of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 that are visible to the player are changed.

  Specifically, in the first stage (non-final stage) of the plurality of stages in the movable body production, the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are arranged at the first position, and the first movable production lamp KLA1. Emits red light, and the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits blue and green light. Therefore, in the first stage, the player can visually recognize red, blue, and green as the light emission colors of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2, and finally the possibility that red light will be emitted and the possibility that blue light will be emitted. , There is a possibility that green light may be emitted.

  In the next second stage (non-final stage), the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are arranged at any of the second to fourth positions, and the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits red light. The second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits either blue or green. Therefore, in the second stage, the player can visually recognize red and blue or green as the light emission colors of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2, and the possibility that red will eventually be emitted and that blue or green will be emitted. It has been shown to be possible.

  Then, in the next third stage (final stage), one of the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR is arranged at the original position and the other is arranged at the fifth position, and the first movable effect lamp KLA1 and Either one of the second movable effect lamps KLA2 becomes visible. Therefore, in the third stage, one of the red, blue, and green emission colors of the movable effect lamps KLA1, KLA2 can be visually recognized by the player.

  Thus, in the movable body effect, the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emit three kinds of emission colors in the first stage, two kinds of emission colors in the second stage, and one in the third stage. It emits light in different types of emission colors. That is, in the non-final stage of the plurality of stages, in the movable body production, the movable production lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emit light of a plurality of types of emission colors, and in the final stage of the plurality of stages, one of the movable production lamps KLA1 and KLA2 is emitted. It is an effect that emits light with one type of emission color.

  Further, in the movable body effect, the effect mode changes at a predetermined timing when the battle effect is being executed. In particular, when the selection effect is executed as the battle effect, the movable object effect is executed in the first stage. Further, when the battle effect is being executed as the battle effect, the movable object effect is executed in the second stage. Further, when the finalized effect is executed as the battle effect, the movable object effect is executed in the third stage.

  Specifically, when the selection effect is executed in the battle effect, the left movable body KL and the right movable object KR are arranged at the first position, the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits red light, and the second movable effect. The lamp KLA2 emits light so as to change between green and blue.

  When the battle production is executed as the battle production type in the battle production, the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are arranged at any of the second to fourth positions, and the first movable production lamp KLA1 is red. The second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits blue light.

  Then, when the definite production in which the teammate character wins is executed after the decisive battle effect is executed, the right movable body KR is displaced to the original position where the right movable body KR cannot be visually recognized, and the left movable body KL is displaced to the fifth position to emit red light. The first movable effect lamp KLA1 can be visually recognized by the player.

  On the other hand, when the definite battle effect is executed after the decisive battle effect is executed, the left movable body KL is displaced to the original position where the left movable body KL cannot be visually recognized, and the right movable body KR is displaced to the fifth position. The second movable effect lamp KLA2 that emits light can be visually recognized by the player.

  Further, when the reinforcement request request effect is executed as the battle effect type in the battle effect, the left movable body KL and the right movable object KR are arranged at any of the second to fourth positions, and the first movable effect lamp KLA1 is turned on. It emits red light, and the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits green light.

  Then, when the finalized effect in which the teammate character wins is executed after the reinforcement request is executed, the right movable body KR is displaced to the original position where the right movable body KR cannot be visually recognized, and the left movable body KL is displaced to the fifth position to emit red light. The first movable effect lamp KLA1 that is turned on can be visually recognized by the player.

  On the other hand, when the confirming effect that the opponent character wins is executed after the reinforcement request effect is executed, the left movable body KL is displaced to the original position where the left movable body KL cannot be visually recognized, and the right movable body KR is displaced to the fifth position. The second movable effect lamp KLA2 that emits light can be visually recognized by the player.

  In this way, in the movable body effect, the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits red light in the non-final stage, so that the ally character wins after the reinforcement force request effect or the decisive battle effect is executed in the battle effect. It is notified that there is a possibility that it will be done. In the non-final stage, the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits blue light to notify that there is a possibility that the decisive effect is executed in the battle effect and the definite effect in which the opponent character wins may be executed. When the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits green light in the non-final stage, it is informed that there is a possibility that the reinforcement request effect is executed in the battle effect and the final effect in which the opponent character wins may be executed.

  That is, in the non-final stage in the movable body effect, the movable effect lamp KLA1, with the emission color corresponding to the effect result of the battle effect that is actually derived and the emission color corresponding to the effect result of the battle effect that is not actually derived. The KLA2 will emit light. In other words, in the non-final stage of the movable body effect, the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emit light with a predetermined emission color, so that the type of the final effect that may be executed in the battle effect (the type of the final effect) Candidates) and the types of items that may occur after the end of the variable game (item type candidates) are shown. In this way, the movable-body effect is an effect in which the candidate of the type of the fixed effect and the candidate of the type of the item generated after the end of the variation game are shown by being notified of the light emission information in the non-final stage.

  Then, when the confirmation effect in which the teammate character wins is executed after the reinforcement request effect or the battle effect is executed in the battle effect, the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits red light at the final stage. In addition, when the final production is executed in the battle production and the final production in which the opponent character wins is executed, the second movable production lamp KLA2 emits blue light at the final stage. Further, when the reinforcement request request effect is executed in the battle effect and the definite effect in which the opponent character wins is executed, the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits green light.

  That is, at the final stage, either of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emits a light emission color corresponding to the effect result of the battle effect that is actually derived. In other words, in the final stage of the movable effect, one of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emits a predetermined light emission color, so that the type of the final effect actually executed in the battle effect and the variation game The type of matter that may occur after the end is indicated. As described above, the movable-body effect is an effect in which the type of the final effect and the items that occur after the end of the variation game are indicated by being notified of the light emission information in the final stage.

  The luminescent color emitted by the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 is light emission information indicating candidates for the type of finalized effect in the non-final stage, and is light emission information indicating the type of finalized effect in the final stage. Further, the luminescent color emitted by the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 is luminescence information indicating the candidates of items that occur after the end of the variation game in the non-final stage, and items that occur after the end of the variation game in the final stage. Is light emission information.

  In the present embodiment, the movable body effect is an effect that is executed when the selection effect of the battle effect is started, but is not limited to this, and for example, is executed when the battle effect of the battle effect is started. It may be an effect, and is preferably an effect that is started before the final effect of the battle effect is executed and the effect result of the battle effect is derived.

  Further, as a movable body effect, the left movable body KL is arranged at the first position, and the first movable effect lamp KLA1 provided on the left movable body KL emits red light. In this way, the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits light in the emission color corresponding to the character background image CHG1.

  On the other hand, the right movable body KR is arranged at the first position, and the second movable effect lamp KLA2 provided on the right movable body KR emits green light. In this way, the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits light in the emission color corresponding to the character background image CHG2.

  That is, among the three types of the home country, the neutral country, and the enemy country, various characters belonging to two types of countries, the home country and the neutral country, and a character background image in a light emission color corresponding to the various characters are displayed, respectively, and the first movable The effect lamp KLA1 and the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emit light in the emission color corresponding to the character background image.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 10A, as a battle effect, a battle effect in which the teammate character CA2 and the battle character CB2 compete with each other is executed. In addition, as a type of battle production, a reinforcement request production in which an ally character belonging to the home country and a battle character belonging to the neutral nation compete with each other is executed.

  In this case, as the movable body effect, the left movable body KL is displaced from the first position to the third position, and the movable effect lamp KLA1 provided on the left movable body KL continuously emits red light. On the other hand, the right movable body KR is displaced from the first position to the third position, and the movable effect lamp KLA2 provided on the right movable body KR continuously emits green light.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 10B, the operation effective period of the effect button BT is reached, and the button image BG that prompts the operation of the effect button BT is displayed. Then, when the effect button BT is operated, the finalized effect is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 10C, as the final effect, the door movable bodies KTL, KTR are displaced from the original position to the specific position, and the effect display device 16, the left movable body KL, and the right movable body KR are hidden, and the player. May be invisible. Then, as shown in FIG. 10D, the door movable bodies KTL, KTR are displaced from the specific position to the original position after a predetermined time has elapsed. In this case, when the door movable bodies KTL and KTR are arranged at the specific positions, the left movable body KL is displaced from the third position to the fifth position, and the right movable body KR is displaced from the third position to the original position. To do. Thus, before the door movable bodies KTL and KTR are displaced from the original position to the specific position, the effect display device 16, the left movable body KL, and the right movable body KR are visible to the player. Then, after the door movable bodies KTL, KTR are displaced from the specific position to the original position, the effect display device 16 and the left movable body KL become visible to the player, and the right movable body KR becomes invisible to the player. ..

  Further, in the image display unit GH of the effect display device 16, the teammate character CA2 and the character background image CHG1 are displayed, and the battle character CB2 and the character background image CHG2 are not displayed. In the image display unit GH of the effect display device 16, the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed as a big hit symbol combination, and are fixedly stopped and displayed at the end of the variable game. In this way, by executing the definite production in which the ally character CA2 wins without the opponent character CB2 winning, it is decided that the probability variation jackpot will be achieved.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 10 (e), a jackpot game is played after the end of the variation game. Even during the big hit game, the teammate character CA2 and the character background image CHG1 are displayed on the effect display device 16. Then, as shown in FIG. 10 (f), when the variation game is started after the jackpot game is over, the effect display device 16 starts changing the effect symbols. In this case, the background image HGC corresponding to the effect mode MC is displayed on the effect display device 16.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10 (g), as the final effect, even if the effect button BT is operated, the door movable bodies KTL and KTR may not be displaced from the original position, and the left movable body KL is moved from the third position. While being displaced to the original position, the right movable body KR is displaced from the third position to the fifth position. As a result, the effect display device 16 and the right movable body KR are visible to the player, and the left movable body KL is invisible to the player.

  Then, in the image display unit GH of the effect display device 16, the battle character CB2 and the character background image CHG2 are displayed, and the ally character CA2 and the character background image CHG1 are not displayed. Further, in the image display unit GH of the effect display device 16, the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed as a symbol combination that is out of order, and are fixedly stopped and displayed at the end of the variable game. In this case, by executing the definite production in which the ally character CA2 does not win and the opponent character CB2 wins, it is decided that the big hit has not occurred.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 10 (h), after the end of the variation game, when the execution of the next variation game is started without the big hit game being performed, the effect display device 16 displays variation of the effect symbol. Is started. In this case, the background image HGC corresponding to the effect mode MC is continuously displayed on the effect display device 16.

  Note that, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11A, the left movable body KL may be performed even if the competing effects of the ally character CA2 and the competing character CC1 are performed in the same effect mode. May be displaced from the third position to the second position, and the right movable body KR may be displaced from the third position to the fourth position. In this case, as compared with the case where the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are arranged at the third positions, respectively, a fixed effect in which the fighting character CC1 wins is executed with a higher probability. That is, by displacing the left movable body KL from the third position to the second position and the right movable body KR from the third position to the fourth position, the type of finalized effect is suggested. In this way, the operation pattern in which the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR operate becomes the inferior operation pattern. Further, an operation pattern in which the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR do not move to the second position and the fourth position is the normal operation pattern.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11B, even when the competing effect in which the teammate character CA2 and the competing character CC1 compete may be executed in the same effect mode, the left movable body KL is moved from the third position. The right movable body KR may be displaced from the third position to the second position at the fourth position. In this case, as compared with the case where the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are arranged at the third positions, respectively, the confirmed effect in which the ally character CA2 wins is executed with a higher probability. That is, by displacing the left movable body KL from the third position to the fourth position and the right movable body KR from the third position to the second position, the type of finalized effect is suggested. In this way, the operation pattern in which the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR operate becomes the dominant operation pattern.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11C, the left movable body KL may be moved from the third position even if the competing effects of the ally character CA2 and the competing character CC1 are executed in the same effect mode. The right movable body KR may be displaced from the third position to the second position in the fourth position, and the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR may swing. In this case, the left movable body KL is displaced from the third position to the fourth position, the right movable body KR is displaced from the third position to the second position, and the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR do not swing. By comparison, a confirmed effect in which the ally character CA2 wins with a high probability is executed. That is, the left movable body KL is displaced from the third position to the fourth position, the right movable body KR is displaced from the third position to the second position, and the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR swing, The type of finalized performance will be suggested. In this way, the operation pattern in which the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR operate becomes the super-dominant operation pattern.

  As described above, in the non-final stage, after the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emit light with a predetermined emission color, the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are displaced and the positions at which the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 emit light change. By doing so, the degree of expectation regarding the color of light emitted by either the left movable body KL or the right movable body KR in the final stage is shown.

  In the present embodiment, in the high base state, when a variation pattern designating command for designating the big hit variation pattern or the outlying reach variation pattern is input, the sub control CPU 31a determines to execute the battle effect and the movable object effect. Then, the sub-control CPU 31a, based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the type of the special symbol designated by the special symbol designation command, the effect pattern of the battle effect (hereinafter, "battle effect pattern"). Is indicated) and stored in the sub-control RAM 31c. When the battle effect pattern is determined, the sub-control CPU 31a determines the effect pattern of the movable body effect (hereinafter, referred to as "movable object effect pattern") based on the battle effect pattern, and stores it in the sub-control RAM 31c. Remember.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 16, the speaker SP, and the decoration lamp so as to execute the battle effect, based on the battle effect pattern. Further, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the various movable bodies KL, KR, KTL, KTR and the movable production lamps KLA1, KLA2 based on the movable body production pattern so as to execute the movable body production.

  When it is determined to execute the battle effect, the sub-control CPU 31a starts the operation valid period when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variable game. Then, when the effect button BT is operated in the operation valid period or when the time defined as the operation valid period elapses without operating the effect button BT, the sub-control CPU 31a ends the operation valid period and moves the door. There are cases where control is performed to displace the bodies KTL and KTR.

Here, the battle effect pattern will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 12, a plurality of types of battle effect patterns are stored in the sub-control ROM 31b. The battle effect pattern is stored so as to correspond to the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the type of the special symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. In particular, a plurality of types of battle effect patterns are associated with one variation pattern. In addition, the effect contents of the battle effect are associated with the battle effect pattern. As the content of the battle effect, the type of battle effect (win or lose), the character to attack, the type of ally character, and the type of enemy character are associated with each other.

  As a specific example, when the variation pattern HP17 which is the outlying reach variation pattern in the high base state is input, one of the battle effect patterns EP1701 to EP1704 is determined with a predetermined probability regardless of the type of the special symbol. To be done. In the battle effect pattern EP1701, the selection effect in which the ally character CA1 and the opponent character CB1 compete is executed, and after the reinforcement request request effect in which the ally character CA1 attacks the opponent character CB1 is executed as the opponent effect, the opponent character CB1 wins. Is a production pattern in which the final production is performed.

  Further, when a variation pattern HP18 which is a jackpot variation pattern in the high base state and a special symbol designation command for designating a special symbol based on the symbols Za and Zb are input, one of the battle effect patterns EP1801 to EP1818 is predetermined. Determined by probability. In the battle effect pattern EP1818, after the selection effect in which the teammate character CA2 and the opponent character CC2 compete with each other is executed and the decisive battle effect in which the opponent character CC2 attacks the teammate character CA2 is executed as the battle effect, the teammate character CA2 wins. It is an effect pattern in which the final effect is executed.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, when the battle production in which the teammate character attacks the opponent character is executed, the probability variation jackpot is higher than in the case where the battle production in which the opponent character attacks the teammate character is executed. The decision probability of the battle effect pattern is defined in. Further, the probability of determining the battle effect pattern is defined such that the probability when the teammate character CA2 competes as the teammate character is higher than that when the teammate character CA1 competes, which is a probability variation jackpot. In addition, the probability of determining the battle effect pattern is defined such that the probability when the fighting character CB1 competes as the fighting character is higher than that when the fighting character CB2 fights, which is a probability variation jackpot. In addition, the probability of determining the battle effect pattern is defined such that the probability when the fighting character CC1 competes as the fighting character is higher than that when the fighting character CC2 fights, which is a probability variation jackpot.

Next, with reference to FIG. 13, a movable body effect pattern will be described.
As shown in FIG. 13, the sub-control ROM 31b stores a plurality of types of movable body effect patterns. The movable body effect pattern is stored so as to correspond to the battle effect pattern. In particular, the movable body effect pattern is stored so as to correspond to the win or loss in the battle effect pattern. Further, the notification contents notified by the movable body effect are associated with the movable body effect pattern. The notification contents of the movable body effect include the emission colors of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 (indicated as “left” and “right” in the figure), operation patterns of the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR, and door movement. Whether the bodies KTL and KTR operate, the type of the movable body that is finally visible, and the determination probability of the operation pattern are associated with each other. The operation patterns of the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR include a normal operation pattern, an inferior operation pattern, a dominant operation pattern, and a super-dominant operation pattern. The inferior motion pattern is a motion pattern that is advantageous to the player over the normal motion pattern, the dominant motion pattern is a motion pattern that is advantageous to the player over the inferior motion pattern, and the super-dominant motion pattern is higher than the dominant motion pattern. Is also an advantageous operation pattern for the player.

  Specifically, when the production pattern EP1801 in which the reinforcement request production (success) is executed is determined, the first movable production lamp KLA1 is made to emit red light and the second movable production lamp KLA2 is made to emit green light. After operating the door movable bodies KTL and KTR, the left movable body KL is finally arranged so that the player can visually recognize it. The normal motion pattern DP01A has a probability of 60/100, the inferior motion pattern DP02A has a probability of 2/100, the dominant motion pattern DP03A has a probability of 25/100, and the superdominant motion pattern DP04A has a probability of 13/100. Each is decided.

  Further, when the effect pattern EP1701 in which the reinforcement request effect (continuation) is executed is determined, the movable effect lamp KLA1 provided on the left movable body KL is caused to emit red light, and the movable effect lamp provided on the right movable body KR. Make KLA2 emit green light. Further, the right movable body KR is finally arranged so that it can be visually recognized by the player without operating the door movable bodies KTL and KTR. The normal motion pattern DP01B has a probability of 80/100, the inferior motion pattern DP02B has a probability of 10/100, the dominant motion pattern DP03B has a probability of 7/100, and the super dominant motion pattern DP04B has a probability of 3/100. Each is decided.

  When the production pattern EP1818 in which the battle production (failure) is executed is determined, the movable production lamp KLA1 provided on the left movable body KL is caused to emit red light, and the movable production lamp KLA2 provided on the right movable body KR. Emits blue light. Further, the right movable body KR is finally arranged so that it can be visually recognized by the player without operating the door movable bodies KTL and KTR. The normal motion pattern DP01B has a probability of 80/100, the inferior motion pattern DP02B has a probability of 10/100, the dominant motion pattern DP03B has a probability of 7/100, and the super dominant motion pattern DP04B has a probability of 3/100. Each is decided.

  In this way, the movable body effect pattern is determined based on the battle effect pattern. Then, the movable body effect is executed based on the movable body effect pattern. Particularly, when the left movable body KL is finally displaced to the fifth position and the first movable effect lamp KLA1 that emits red light is visible, the door movable bodies KTL and KTR are displaced to the specific positions. It will be. That is, in response to the door movable bodies KTL and KTR being displaced to the specific position, the left movable body KL is displaced to the fifth position, and it is informed that the fixed production in which the teammate character wins in the battle production is executed. It will be.

  Further, when the movable body effect is executed based on the dominant motion pattern and the super-dominant motion pattern, the left movable body KL is located at the fifth position more than when the movable body effect is executed based on the normal motion pattern. There is a high possibility that they will be finally arranged, and there is a high possibility that a confirmed effect will be executed in which the teammate character wins in the battle effect. On the other hand, when the movable body effect is executed based on the inferior motion pattern, the movable body is moved rightward to the fifth position which is visible to the player, compared to when the movable body effect is executed based on the normal operation pattern. There is a high possibility that the body KR will be finally placed, and there is a high possibility that a fixed production in which the opponent character wins in the battle production will be executed.

  In other words, depending on the positions of the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR (movable effect lamps KLA1, KLA2) in the non-final stage, the type of the movable body arranged at the final visible fifth position (light emission of the movable effect lamp) The degree of expectation of (color) will be shown. In particular, the areas emitted by the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 in the non-final stage indicate the degree of expectation regarding the emission color of the movable effect lamps that emit light in the visible area in the final stage. In other words, by changing the positions of the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 in the non-final stage, the degree of expectation about the emission color of the movable effect lamp that emits light in the visible region in the final stage is shown. In the present embodiment, the production mode of the movable body effect based on the normal operation pattern corresponds to the normal mode, and the production mode of the movable body effect based on other than the normal operation pattern corresponds to the special mode.

  Here, the timing at which the battle effect and the movable object effect are executed will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 17. In the figure, the effect display device 16 is a “display device”, the reach symbol combination is a symbol “R”, the position of the left movable body KL is a symbol “L1” to “L5”, and the position of the right movable body KR is a symbol.

Then, after the door movable bodies KTL, KTR are displaced to the specific positions, the effect display device 16 executes the finalized effect in which the teammate character wins, and the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed as a jackpot symbol combination. Then, at the timing T18, the left movable body KL is displaced from the third position to the fifth position, and the right movable body KR is displaced from the third position to the original position. Then, the door movable bodies KTL and KTR are displaced from the specific positions to the original positions at the timing indicated by reference sign T19. As a result, the first movable effect lamp KLA1 that emits red light can be visually recognized. Then, the left movable body KL is displaced from the fifth position to the original position at the timing indicated by reference sign T20. After that, the effect symbols are fixedly stopped and displayed in the symbol combination of the big hit, and the variation game is ended.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 14B, when the operation pattern DP02A which is the inferior operation pattern is determined, the left movable body KL has a different operation pattern from when the operation pattern DP01A which is the normal operation pattern is determined. And the right movable body KR is displaced.

The KL is displaced from the third position to the second position, and the right movable body KR is displaced from the third position to the fourth position. Then, at the timing indicated by reference sign T18, the left movable body KL is displaced from the second position to the fifth position, and the right movable body KR is displaced from the fourth position to the original position.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 15A, when the motion pattern DP03A which is the dominant motion pattern is determined, the left movable body KL has a motion pattern different from that when the motion pattern DP01A which is the normal motion pattern is determined. And the right movable body KR is displaced.

  Specifically, the battle effect is executed at the timing T12, and after the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are displaced from the first position to the third position, the left movable body is moved at the timing T13. The KL is displaced from the third position to the fourth position, and the right movable body KR is displaced from the third position to the second position. Then, at the timing indicated by reference sign T18, the left movable body KL is displaced from the fourth position to the fifth position, and the right movable body KR is displaced from the second position to the original position.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 15B, when the motion pattern DP04A that is the super-dominant motion pattern is determined, the left movable body has a motion pattern different from that when the motion pattern DP03A that is the dominant motion pattern is determined. KL and the right movable body KR are displaced.

  Specifically, after the left movable body KL is displaced from the third position to the fourth position and the right movable body KR is displaced from the third position to the second position at the timing T13, at the timing T14. , The left movable body KL is displaced from the fourth position to the fifth position, and the right movable body KR is displaced to swing from the second position to the first position.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 16A, when the operation pattern DP01B which is the normal operation pattern is determined, the left movable body KL has an operation pattern different from that when the operation pattern DP01A which is the normal operation pattern is determined. And the right movable body KR is displaced.

Specifically, at the timing T18, the left movable body KL is displaced from the third position to the original position, and the right movable body KR is displaced from the third position to the fifth position.
Next, as shown in FIG. 16B, when the operation pattern DP02B which is the inferior operation pattern is determined, the left movable body KL has an operation pattern different from that when the operation pattern DP02A which is the inferior operation pattern is determined. And the right movable body KR is displaced.

  Specifically, the left movable body KL is displaced from the second position to the original position and the right movable body KR is displaced from the fourth position to the fifth position at the timing indicated by reference numeral T18. As a result, the second movable effect lamp KLA2 that emits green or blue light is visible.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 17A, when the motion pattern DP03B that is the dominant motion pattern is determined, the left movable body KL has a motion pattern different from that when the motion pattern DP03A that is the dominant motion pattern is determined. And the right movable body KR is displaced.

  In this way, in the movable body effect, the door movable bodies KTL, KTR are displaced to a specific position in response to the operation of the production button BT, and the left movable body KL or the right movable body is displaced in accordance with the displacement of the door movable bodies KTL, KTR. When the KR is displaced to the original position, the number of movable effect lamps that can be visually recognized by the player is changed (decreased), and thus the effect mode is changed. In addition, in the movable body effect, the door movable bodies KTL and KTR are displaced to a specific position in accordance with the operation of the effect button BT, and the left movable body KL or the right movable body KR is moved from any one of the second to fourth positions. This is an effect in which the effect mode is changed by displacing to the 5 position and changing the region where the visible movable effect lamp emits light. In particular, in the movable body effect, the movable effect lamp visible by the player changes before and after the door movable bodies KTL and KTR are displaced to the specific positions.

  In the present embodiment, the light emission information of the first movable effect lamp KLA1 and the second movable effect lamp KLA2 corresponds to the specific information. In particular, the red light emission of the first movable effect lamp KLA1 is the first specific information, the blue light emission of the second movable effect lamp KLA2 is the second specific information, and the green light emission of the second movable effect lamp KLA2 is the third specific information. Equivalent to. In particular, the first specific information is more advantageous to the player than the second specific information and the third specific information. In addition, the probability big hit corresponds to the first big hit, and the non-probability big hit, which is more disadvantageous than the probability big hit, corresponds to the second big hit.

As described in detail above, this embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The battle effect is an effect that derives one of the effect results from a plurality of kinds of effect results. The movable body effect is an effect that is started to be executed before the effect result of the battle effect is derived, and is an effect that is executed in an effect mode that suggests the effect result. The movable body effect is an effect in which the effect mode changes according to the displacement of the door movable members KTL and KTR. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the sense of expectation for the effect result of the battle effect from the effect mode of the movable object effect, and the expectation for the effect mode of the movable object effect that changes according to the displacement of the door movable members KTL, KTR. The feeling can be further enhanced, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  (2) The movable body effect is an effect executed in an effect mode that suggests any one of a plurality of types of events that occur after the end of the variation game. The movable body effect is an effect in which the effect mode changes according to the displacement of the door movable members KTL and KTR. Therefore, the sense of expectation for an event that occurs after the end of the variation game can be increased from the effect mode of the movable body effect, and the displacement of the door movable bodies KTL, KTR and the movable body effect that changes according to the displacement can be achieved. It is possible to further enhance the sense of expectation with respect to the presentation mode, and to improve the interest in the game.

  (3) The battle effect is an effect that derives one of the effect results of a plurality of kinds. The movable body effect is an effect that is started to be executed before the effect result of the battle effect is derived, and is an effect that is executed in an effect mode that suggests the effect result. Then, the movable body effect is an effect in which the effect mode changes according to the operation of the effect button BT.

Expectations can be further enhanced, and interest in games can be improved.

  (5) The movable body effect is an effect of notifying the light emission information over a plurality of stages. The light emission information is information that suggests a result of the battle effect. The movable body effect is an effect of notifying a plurality of light emission information in a non-final stage among a plurality of stages and then notifying one light emission information in a final stage. Then, a plurality of pieces of light emission information are notified in a special manner in the non-final stage, thereby indicating the degree of expectation regarding the type of light emission information to be notified in the final stage. For this reason, it is possible to enhance the sense of expectation for the effect result of the battle effect from the light emission information notified in multiple stages in the movable object effect. Then, since a plurality of pieces of light emission information are notified in a special mode in the non-final stage, it is possible to raise the sense of expectation for the type of light emission information to be notified in the final stage, and to improve the interest in the game. ..

  (6) The movable body effect is an effect of notifying the light emission information over a plurality of stages. The light emission information is information that suggests any one of a plurality of types of events that occur after the end of the variation game. The movable body effect is an effect of notifying a plurality of light emission information in a non-final stage among a plurality of stages and then notifying one light emission information in a final stage. Then, a plurality of pieces of light emission information are notified in a special manner in the non-final stage, thereby indicating the degree of expectation regarding the type of light emission information to be notified in the final stage. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the sense of expectation for an event that occurs after the end of the variation game based on the light emission information that is notified in a plurality of stages in the movable body effect. Then, since a plurality of pieces of light emission information are notified in a special mode in the non-final stage, it is possible to raise the sense of expectation for the type of light emission information to be notified in the final stage, and to improve the interest in the game. ..

  (7) In addition, the movable body effect is an effect in which the plurality of pieces of light emission information can be changed after being notified of the plurality of pieces of light emission information. Therefore, even after a plurality of pieces of light emission information have been notified, it is possible to enhance the sense of expectation for changes in the plurality of pieces of light emission information, and it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game.

  (8) In particular, since the plurality of pieces of light emission information change in the non-final stage among the plurality of stages, the degree of expectation regarding the type of light emission information notified in the final stage is indicated. For this reason, since a plurality of pieces of light emission information change in the non-final stage, it is possible to enhance the sense of expectation regarding the type of light emission information notified in the final stage, and it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game.

  (9) Also, the image information regarding the character in the battle effect and the light emission information in the movable body effect are classified into a predetermined effect type, and the movable object effect is classified into the same effect type as the image information in the battle effect. Is an effect to notify the light emission information. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the sense of expectation for the production type of the battle production from the production type of the light emission information in the movable body production, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

  (10) Further, the effect types are classified so that the battle effect image information and the light emission information of the movable body effect are related to each other. Therefore, since the effect result of the battle effect is derived from the light emission information in the movable object effect in the effect type that is related to the movable object effect, the effect of the effect can be enhanced and the interest in the game can be improved. You can

  (11) Further, the number of pieces of light emission information from the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 changes, so that the effect mode of the movable object effect changes. For this reason, it is possible to raise the sense of expectation for changes in the number of light emission information, and to improve the enjoyment of the game.

  (12) Due to the displacement of the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR, the light emitting area emitted by the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 is changed, so that the effect mode of the movable object effect is changed. Therefore, it is possible to raise the expectation for the change of the light emitting region and to improve the interest in the game.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment embodying the present invention will be described.
In the first embodiment, the outer shape of the left movable body KL, the outer shape of the right movable body KR, the light emitting area of the first movable effect lamp KLA1 provided on the left movable body KL, and the second movable effect provided on the right movable body KR. Although the light emitting area of the lamp KLA2 is constant, the present invention is not limited to this. In the second embodiment, for example, the outer shape of the left movable body KL, the light emitting area of the first movable effect lamp KLA1 provided on the left movable body KL, and the light emitting area of the second movable effect lamp KLA2 provided on the right movable body KR. Can be changed respectively. In the following description, the same configurations and the same control contents as those of the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the duplicate description thereof will be omitted or simplified.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11D, when the left movable body KL and the right movable body KR are arranged at the third position, the first movable effect lamp KLA1 and the second movable effect lamp KLA2 are Each emits light in a medium emission region.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11E, when the left movable body KL is displaced to the second position and the right movable body KR is displaced to the fourth position as in the inferior movement pattern, the first movable effect lamp KLA1 is turned on. The second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits light in a light emitting area smaller than the middle level and in a light emitting area larger than the middle level. In this way, the light emitting area of the first movable effect lamp KLA1 becomes smaller and the light emitting area of the second movable effect lamp KLA2 becomes larger, so that the right movable body KR is finally displaced to the fifth position, and the second movable body KR moves. The expectation that the effect lamp KLA2 will visibly emit light will increase.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11F, when the left movable body KL is displaced to the fourth position and the right movable body KR is displaced to the second position as in the dominant operation pattern, the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits light in a light emitting region larger than medium, and the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits light in a light emitting region smaller than medium. In this way, the light emission area of the first movable effect lamp KLA1 is increased and the light emission area of the second movable effect lamp KLA2 is decreased, whereby the left movable body KL is finally displaced to the fifth position, and the first movable object is moved. The expectation that the effect lamp KLA1 will visibly emit light will increase.

  That is, since the light emitting area emitted by the movable effect lamps KLA1 and KLA2 changes in the non-final stage, the degree of expectation regarding the type of the emission color emitted in the final stage is shown.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 11G, when the left movable body KL is displaced to the fifth position at the final stage, the left movable body KL is deformed so as to expand. Further, when the left movable body KL is displaced to the fifth position, the light emitting area of the first movable effect lamp KLA1 is larger than when the left movable body KL is displaced to the fourth position.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11 (h), when the right movable body KR is displaced to the fifth position at the final stage, the right movable body KR is not deformed. In addition, the light emitting area of the second movable effect lamp KLA2 is the same when the right movable body KR is displaced to the fifth position and when the left movable body KL is displaced to the fourth position.

  In this way, in the final stage, the left movable body KL is displaced to the fifth position and the first movable effect lamp KLA1 becomes visible, and in the final stage, the right movable body KR is displaced to the fifth position, The light emitting area is different from when the second movable effect lamp KLA2 is visible. That is, when the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits red light in the final stage, it emits light in the first light emission mode (first mode), while the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits blue light in the final stage. When emitting green light, the light is emitted in a second light emission mode (second mode) different from the first light emission mode. Further, it can be said that the first light emission mode has a larger light emission area than the second light emission mode, and the notification amount is large.

As described above in detail, the second embodiment has the following effects in addition to the effects (1) to (12) of the first embodiment.
(13) When the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits light so that it can be visually recognized by the player in the final stage, it emits light in the first light emission mode, while the second movable effect lamp KLA2 can be visually recognized by the player in the final stage. In the case of emitting light, the second light emission mode different from the first light emission mode is emitted. Therefore, by increasing the variety of production by the light emitting mode in the final stage, it is possible to enhance the effect of production, and it is possible to pay attention to the light emitting mode in the final stage, thereby improving the enjoyment of the game. ..

  (14) The production mode of the movable body production is changed by enlarging and reducing the light emitting area emitted by the movable production lamps KLA1 and KLA2. Therefore, it is possible to raise the expectation for the expansion and contraction of the light emitting area, and it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game.

  (15) In particular, when the first movable effect lamp KLA1 emits light in the first light emitting mode in the final stage, it is advantageous to the player as compared with the case where the second movable effect lamp KLA2 emits light in the second light emitting mode in the final stage. Becomes The first light emission mode has a larger notification amount than the second light emission mode, and the player is more likely to recognize the first light emission mode than the second light emission mode. Therefore, it becomes possible to recognize whether or not it is advantageous for the player by the notification amount of the light emission mode in the final stage, and it is possible to focus attention on the light emission mode in the final stage, thereby improving the interest of the game.

And a special movable production means ,
After the end of the symbol variation game, one of several types of events has occurred,
In the effect, there is a specific effect that displays specific information in a plurality of stages during the symbol variation game,
In the plurality of types of events, a first event after the end of the symbol variation game that is the first jackpot, and a second event after the termination of the symbol variation game that is a second jackpot that is more disadvantageous than the first jackpot. There is a third event after the end of the symbol variation game that does not become a big hit,
The specific information is information that suggests an event after the end of the symbol variation game, and becomes invisible according to the movement of the special movable effect means from the original position to the specific position, while the special movable effect is generated. It is information that can be visually recognized according to the movement from the specific position of the means to the original position,
The specific information includes first specific information that suggests the first event, second specific information that suggests the second event, and third specific information that suggests the third event,
The specific effect is,
When the first event occurs , a plurality of pieces of specific information are displayed in a non-final step of the plurality of steps, and in the final step of the plurality of steps, the movement of the special movable effect means from the original position to the specific position. According to the above, after making the plurality of specific information invisible, the first specific information of the plurality of specific information is displayed while other specific information is not displayed, and the original position is changed from the specific position of the special movable effect means. a presentation to allow viewing of the first specific information according to the operation of the position, and,
Prior Symbol non final stage, while the one of the display area among the plurality of the specific information is increased after displaying a plurality of specific information, the corresponding display area can be changed as another display area is reduced Yes,
By changing the display area of at least one of the plurality of specific information in the non-final stage, the degree of expectation about the type of specific information displayed as one specific information in the final stage is shown ,
A gaming machine with a high degree of expectation that the specific information that changes so as to increase the display area in the non-final stage is displayed as one specific information in the final stage . A first starting opening that allows game balls to enter,
A second starting opening that allows game balls to enter,
An opening / closing member that operates so as to have an open state in which a game ball can enter the second starting port and a closed state in which a game ball cannot enter the second starting port,
Comprises a gaming state control means for controlling a gaming state, a,
In the symbol variation game, the first symbol variation game executed based on the entry of the game ball into the first starting opening, and the second variation based on the entry of the game ball into the second starting opening. There are 2 symbol variation games,
In the game state, there are a probability variation state in which the probability of being a big hit is higher than in the non-probability variation state, and a ball entry rate improving state in which a game ball is more likely to enter the second starting opening than a non-ball entry rate improving state. At least one of them,
The game machine according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the first big hit is a big hit that is controlled to at least one of the probability variation state and the entry rate improvement state after the big hit game is over.
